"Can you do me a favour"

I was waiting outside work at 08:00, on Monday, when a lad in his teens comes walking along and says to me "Can you do me a favour". Being stood outside my place of employment, I thought it might be work related, so I said "I might be able too". "Can you get me some cigarettes ?" he asks. "No" I reply, and he walks off, generally in the direction of school.I admit that I did use to drink under age in pubs, so it was kind of hypocritical of me, but there is a principle behind not helping him in his quest for a fag. If I got away with it, I got away with it. Not as much medical research had been done in the 80's about the damage caused, and warnings of its danger was not printed on packaging. So I'm not going to encourage others to drink and smoke underage as well, and make purchases for them."Sorry fella"

About Me

I was born in Bury St.Edmunds, and lived there all my life. I attended King Edward VI upper school until 1986, where I managed 3 O'levels. Started a college course that september,but quit after 3 months to go and work in a butchers shop. That lasted a year before moving to the company I'm in my 22nd year with now.

Why CashierNo.5

I was at work one day and called someone that I knew from the queue, from my local pub, to serve. They didn't at the time know where I worked, so when I said "Hello Steve", they looked up and said "Cashier No.5".So this gets back to the pub, via this guy, and most of the regulars call me that now,
